THE MINTS: Add A Little Spice To Your Honey Bee's Life

摘要

Around 20 species of mints are found worldwide. There are also many natural and artificial hybrids. They're easily recognized by their square stems and opposite foliage. The most commonly cultivated mints are spearmint, peppermint, and Japanese mint.All of the mints are excellent sources of nectar. These bloom mostly in late summer when typically there is a dearth of nectar. Because the variegated and fancy leaved mints aren't as floriferous, they are less suitable for bees.
